I have a BUNCH of pet peeves. In fact, I've decided to only post one at a time! Man, consider yourself lucky you don't have to sit through one of my LONG posts that drags on and on, leaving you mentally unaware at the end.

Anyways, one of my pet peeves is those people at the front of lines who WON'T STOP ASKING QUESTIONS! You know, the old greying woman or insecure bachelors who demand on asking the cashier as many questions as humanly possible. I ALWAYS find these people, especially at fast food lines. They usually can't decide on what to buy, so they pester the cashier senseless about the products. Oh, and when they start a conversation with the employee about something other than the food products, I HATE THAT! It holds the whole line up, making the fast food not so freakin' fast! I don't know about you guys, but it ticks me off. GRR!

Man, you and I have a lot in common.

Honestly, I have so many pet peeves I just say "everything" and occasionally bring up a few of my pet-peevier pet peeves. It wouldn't be far from the truth to say that my pet peeve is everything, anyway.

I get that all the time at my work. It's usually when I'm cashing out and someone has to come up, put their food on the table, then realize they forgot something and have to run to the end of the store to grab it, making the other people in line wait.

I hate it when a waiter or waitress tries to be your friend--or, to be more precise, assumes that you want to be theirs. I'm a polite guy, so when a waiter asks me how I am today, I tell them I am well and then ask how they are today. It's just polite. What some of them don't realize is that that is not an invitation to tell me their life story. Telling me "I'm fine" or "It's been a long day" and leaving it at that is okay.. but I don't want to know how you got called in early or how your girlfriend dumped you or how you're failing algebra. Shush already.

At one of my favorite late-night eateries there's a waitress who does this habitually. I'm not an unsympathetic person, lady, but I don't come into your restaurant to hear your epic saga.

And for those who say I just shouldn't ask waiters and waitresses how they are, I say pfui--if someone asks you how you are, it's polite to ask them as well (I do the same with cashiers, but in that business time is money so they usually don't make much chit-chat). But the the waiter-customer relationship is clearly delineated and does not include me being your shrink. Kthxbye.

I know how you feel, IJ. One time I went to a restaraunt, and the waiter kept sitting at my frikin' table!

iKipapa · **Posted:** Sat Sep 02, 2006 7:33 pm

I don't like it when people tell me to stop biting my nails.
Now, I don't bite my nails at the dinner table or anything. Asking me to stop while we're eating would be respectable, because it's not great table manners.
But, anytime else. While I'm alone in my own room, and my brother or dad comes in and tells me to stop, I get angry.
I'll bite my nails if I want to.

Shopiom · **Posted:** Sat Sep 02, 2006 7:38 pm

That's what nail clippers are for, iKi.

Heh.
It's something I have done since before I can remember. I haven't had a nail longer than half an inch in ages.

I hate it when people say "I knew that!", but they clearly, obviously did NOT. If you knew it, you wouldn't say something stupid!

Kariia · **Posted:** Sun Sep 03, 2006 12:49 am

I HATE it when someone makes a roleplay topic entitled something like:

"(generic fantasy book) RP: Literates only"

And, thinking it's a literate RP, you go into the topic, and the post is:

"dave was a wizuerd. he was 24 and hawt all the girl wizurds leiked him. he made a spel and sumting apperade."

Okay, maybe that was a bit exaggerated. But I seriously hate it when someone who isn't literate at all makes a board called "Literate RP". x.X And saying "I don't know what literate is!" is just a dumb excuse because at any forum there's someone literate hopefully and it's prooty hard NOT to see the literates. x.X I also hate it when illiterates join a literate RP. </rant>

I think everyone hates when that happens. You know, Stu and meself had bets going on how many people would lie about PWNday and say that they knew about it, in order to save face. I'm surprised on how many people admitted that they were fooled.

MC Otaku · **Posted:** Sun Sep 03, 2006 5:07 am

Oh, and another one - myself. :rolleyes:

I'm not nice, cool, smart, cute, talented, nothing - just stupid, mean, compulsive and I mess up everything! I'm such a waste. Stupid me! X-(

Oh, and I also hate it when I have no money. And not being able to go on vacation. And...

Man. So our school holds concerts for bands, right? Well our school bands get to open for them. And the only way to do so is to talk to the school president and ask about it. So I did, and I talked to my very good friend the president. He said once the school gets money for a concert, that my band could open first. Well, whaddaya know? There will be some band named O Doctor coming up to our school, and that stupid other band gets to open for them. I hate how they promote themselves so much. They even made stupid little posters advertising how it was the "O Doctor and Angry Saturn" concert. If you have myspace, observe.

That's right. I remember talking about that. I think some parents are too overprotective. I mean, you need to protect your child, but if you shun them from anything related to anything remotely dangerous, that kid's gonna grow up to be some outsider. There's a saying by some guy I'm not gonna mention because I don't know his name. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Anyways, I'm just saying I'm here for you.

Another peeve about that band. They're way too obsessed with Blink 182. The singer says, "I totally sound like Tom Delonge." And we get into these Green Day vs. Blink 182 arguments, because they hate Green Day. One time, I said, "At least Green Day is punk" and they were like, "Are you kidding? Blink 182 is the defenition of punk". And they also described Green Day as "for teenyboppers". I think they're totally clueless about the world.

My mom has that on my computer, too. She'll unlock almost any site that I want, but not all the time.

Green Day is for Teenyboppers? Please, do me this favor. Take a baseball bat, and smash all of their instruments. Because they shouldn't be allowed to touch them if they thing that Green Day is for "Teenyboppers".

Pfft. Green Day teenyboppers. I tried to make a comeback for that, but it was hard, cause you know, Blink 182 really are for teenyboppers. I was like, "Are you kidding? Blink 182 is totally teenybopper music". They are making t-shirts and have a website and everything, as if they're gonna be big.

I know exactly what that's like. But instead the fleas don't stay on the animals. We have a steady supply of sprays and bug bombs in our house.

I agree. Green Day is not for "teenyboppers" but I can understand why they think this. "American Idiot" was generally a hit with the 8-11 "tween" crowd. It was a tad on the poppy side. In fact, that was their worst album to date. But they are punk. I don't mind Blink 182, though. But I wouldn't call them the definition of punk. That's pushing the envolope.

Peeve: When I tell someone I listen to Metallica and they say they love Metallica but they only listen to Enter Sandman. Everyone likes Enter Sandman, that's the only Metallica song the General Public seems to know. Let me tell you folks, there are a lot more Metallica songs than Enter Sandman. There are 11 albums of Metallica. Now I'm not saying Enter Sandman is bad, because it's not. It's a great song. It's a great intro song into the World of Metallica. It got me into Metallica, big time. IF you say you like Metallica, tell me you like more than Enter Sandman. Ok?

Another one: failure. It leaves such a bitter taste in my mouth. Too bad I don't enjoy failure, considering that I've failed everything I've ever tried to do. No, really, Every. Single. Thing. :((

Being forced to stay in town forever sucks, too.

Try getting that canned air, that might help. It's what I use for when that happens. There's probably just food particles in there or something.

Since our old mouse (computer mouse) was getting kind of sticky, we bought one of those optical ones to replace it. I thought it was gonna be cool having a mouse that moved where you wanted it too, but instead I have to deal with the mouse making the cursor jump to the edge of the screen for no reason at random times. To make things worse, if I even mention it to my parents I get yelled at for "friggin' around with the settings". Even if I knew where to go I don't see why I would change the mouse settings.

So, ya... That's pretty freaking annoying.

Spoiled little kids that act 5 years below their actual age. They cheese me off to no end. :rolleyes:
